The European Union Center of Excellence is now accepting applications from universities interested in sending two-person undergraduate student teams to the 2011 West Coast Model EU. We are also accepting applications from UW undergraduate students interested in forming two-person teams. Letters or emails of intent to participate should be received from the faculty advisor no later than November 19.
The Model EU is a simulation of a European Council Summit. Teams made up of two undergraduate students playing the roles of representatives of EU member state delegations. This year, the students will negotiate issues that will be discussed during the Hungarian Presidency of 2011. The 2011 Model EU will feature two concurrent summit negotiation sessions focusing on the following issues: economic governance in the aftermath of the Euro debt crisis and the situation of the Roma minority. Additional details about the simulation scenario and campus event will be posted in the near future.
The 2011 West Coast Model EU is sponsored by the European Union Center of Excellence, the Center for West European Studies, and the Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies at the Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.
